I hold of these restrictions because that was the mesorah passed down to me . But I do recognize that a lot of it is spotty when it comes to the Gemara and later.
עבירה,
He’s asking a legitimate question. What’s the source,?
I didn’t say it’s JUST a minhag. I said it’s mitaam minhag.
I’m not saying to listen to music during sefira. I don’t listen to music at that period. But it’s mitaam minhag, not mitaam halacha. My point is that people need to be educated.
“You know what? Forget the Shulchan Aruch. The Gemara doesn’t mention music. Nor do the Geonim. Nor does the Rambam. What do you guys want?“

You know what? Forget the Gemara doesn’t mention music. Nor do the Geonim. Nor does the Rambam. What do you guys went?
Aveirah, the S”A doesn’t mention it. What else do you want?
The S”A does not mention music at all. So what’s the question bichlal?
I think we forget to realize that we live in times of unprecedented freedom and tranquility for Jews. Back in the day when a king told you to come to the coronation, you came. Not going could have serious repercussions. So it’s hard for us to relate to that now and it seems odd that a rabbi would go to a church on Shabbat. I think people who judge him have are one dimensional and are not really sophisticated enough to understand the nuances of going. Is anyone really surprised that UJM had that response??
I only follow the Halachic opinions of people who post endlessly on YWN.
Did you learn in depth the actual application of not to deviate? It doesn’t mean if they tell you that left is right we believe them blindly.
We don’t have popes in yiddishkeit
If Sephardim or Chasidim hold of the eruv and that is based on a valid man deamar, then they are not Mechallel Shabbos, EVEN in light of Rav Moshe’s psak. Unless you believe in Gadolatry.
I agree. We talk about so much shtusim. Shouldn’t we be focused on Hashem?
Avira do you have a full time job??
What makes a kollel chassidish?
and then?
You don’t HAVE to daven before shkiyah. There’s on what to rely.
What is matbucha
What about olive oil and zatar
Avira do you have a full time job?
I think the kamatz under the ches is pronounced “O” in this case. And also there’s no chirik under the saf.
The doros are inversely proportional with the use of titles.
There’s an ad for a Torah initiative which includes several Rabbonim. One of the people featured is a major Marbitz Torah, who I don’t think is an actual rov, and they use the honorific Harav HaGaon. Granted this man has major zchusim and is increasing Torah learning, but really? Gaon?
Sub human? That’s a little much
Asheknazim have a very neurotic, complicated relationship with EY.
What’s the exact lashon of the Rambam?
Very important discussion
This is a very very important post and is critical in 2023.
Just out of curiosity, what about the D”L rabbonim who are matir?
We should follow a newly yeshivish guy living in a basement in Passaic wasting his time on YWN.
חדש מן התורה ONLY means one thing, which is kemach yoshon. Don’t ever take it out of context. Just because the C’S came up with a clever interpretation does not make it halacha. If it were then we’d not allow IVF, for example. The point of Halacha IS to deal with the new. Otherwise why do I need rabbis? Just to regurgitate what I could’ve been looked up myself? And if you think there’s no Chodosh, you’re dreaming. Yiddishkeit is constantly expanding. Yes, same framework, but expanding.
The Mishna in Avos said this 1500 years earlier. What’s the Chiddush. We, as a generation, are incompetent in Mikra and the basics. It would be like taking a 6 year old child and teaching him algebra and saying “arithmetic is a waste of time”.
The posuk literally says ואתם הדבקים בה’ אלקיכם….
This is not new.
“A warm fuzzy feeling doesn’t mean you’re getting closer to Hashem.
And shteiging for 8 hours also doesn’t necessarily bring you to dveikus with Hashem. If you learn not lishma, or you learn but you’re full of gaiva, then it’s mutav to go to a fahrbrengen. Jews have different ways to be inspired and to connect.Let’s not all act like we’re Harav Schach here. No one is even close.
mentsch1: well said
Is this really the biggest issue facing Klal Yisroel in 2022??
When things go wrong we kvetch. When there’s celebrations with “high end” food, we kvetch. Let them enjoy Yud Tes. How does it affect you?
Is this the most important topic for Yidden in 2022?
This is a critical issue for Klal Yisroel in 2022. Forget poverty, almanos, anti-semitism. What we need to focus on is Litvish people taking on kulos. Imperative!
Good point Leah
